Pushing Websites and Applications to Students

Overview

This feature allows you to run an application or launch a website on student computers. This can be quite useful for younger students who have trouble navigating to a specific web address or starting a specific application.



Here is a brief video demonstrating how to push websites and applications to students:

  3. Enter the Run command you would like to send to student computers.
